The next mayor of Douglas will be Councillor Sara Hackman.
A special private meeting of the council held on Friday made the selection.
The St George’s councillor says she’ll accept the office if confirmed at the annual council meeting on May 13.
She replaces Stan Cain.
The Mayor of Douglas is not a figure like Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, who wields political power.
The office is largely ceremonial but the mayor also chairs meetings.
The leader of the council, effectively the political head, remains Cllr David Christian.
